MARRYING FOR INFAMY,

A Clear-cut Review of the Nina Van
Zandt Escapade. and of Her IIk.
Frank Leslies Illustrated Weekly has the
following clear-cut article upon Nina Van
zandt and the Thug Spies, over whom she
is love struck orazed
Miss Nina Van Zandt, Of Chicago, has
achieved notoriety by proposing herself in
marriage to August Spies, the condemned
Anarchist. As a route 10 fame this new
shortcut compares favorahly with going
down Niagara rapids in a. barrel, securely
corked up with brother-in-law. or Jump
ing from the Brooklyn bridge with large
amount of wadding in the seat of ones

Miss Van Zandt is said to be descended
from wealthy Pittsbung family, and
would incur some risk OF losing her patri-
mony if she should achieve her contem-
plated scheme Of matrimonv. She declares
she has never read dime neTel, and has
not the least touch of Romance in her COM
position. She began to make love to Spies
while. he was on trial. and seems to have
carried her suit by storm. in subsequent
visit 10 the Jail. Spies subsaits TO her pre-
determined bent apparently with Anarch-
istie,Yesignation and doomed acquiescence.

Death OF a Pioneer lady

A correspondent writing from Placer
vile says: Many of your readers, es-
pecially the pioneers of Ell Dorado county,
will be panied to learn of the death OF
Mrs. John Curran, one of the pioneer wo-
men of this county, who for many years
resided at Cold Springs" In speaking OF
the sad event, the Virginia City Enterprise
OF June 9Th says: Mrs. John Curran. OF
Gold Hill. died last evening about :
O'Clock. Mrs. Curran was 80 years of age,
and was one of the pioneers OF the Pacific
coast. She was q native of Halifax, Nova
Scotia. In 1852 she crossed the plains
from Galena, Illinois, and settled in
El Dorado county, Cal, near Placerville.
Thence she removed to Yolo county, and
from there came TO Gold Hill, where she
resided up to the time of her death. She
was the sister of Thomas Quirk. ex-fore-
man OF the Yellow Jacket mine, who died
about seven years ago. Mrs. Curran was
the mother of eleven children. eight of
whom are living and were with her last
evening when she died. Last December
cancer made its appearance in her left
breast, which developed with alarming
rapidly, In January the breast was re-
moved by DR.. Murphy, of San Francisco.
II was thought that the operation had af-
fected permanent cure, but about the LIST
OF April the cancer broke out in the right
breast and in the left lung, and proved so
IN alignant as to defy all medical skill.
Mrs. Curran's death will be incurred by a
large circle of friends, as she was a most
estimable lady"

HOW SAN FRANCISCO AIDS THE
INTERIOR.

The California Spirit of The Times opens
the door to an important truth when it
says, referring to the threadbare iteration
of how much San Francisco does for the
State" as an excuse forever preferred by
its people for attempts to absorb the vital
ity Of the interior:
1t must not be lost sight of that there are two
growing empires in California outside of San
francisco. but upon which San Francisco is de-
pendent for life, health and sustenanee The
one Is the great empire at the north, of which
sacramento IS the center; and the other that
great empire at the south, of which Los Angeles
Is the center. Our judgment is that the time
was never so ripe for interior cultivation by the
business men of San Francisco than to-day; be-
cause II they should so elect Los Angeles on one
side and Sacramento on the other, could squeeze
i into very ungainly and unpleasant shape,
Tor railroad communication has paced both
points upon plane of entire independence of
San Francisco.
Again we say let San Francisco cultivate the
interior not repel it, do not throw discredit upon
u or treat 1t with contempt. There is limit to
condition than now TO establish that limit.
Yet at this very moment prominent citi-
zens of San Francisco, representing her
wealth, trade and political influence are
industriously engaged in an endeavor to
cripple and destroy five of the District
Agricultural Associations and the State
Agricultural Society, by running" a
" fair" in opposition to them. No excuse
rs offered for this unmanly and short
sighted action it is case of
pure eussedness," to use slang.
which BELTS the reference. The year is
long enough to enable the San Francisco
fair to be held without conflict with the
dates of the interior expositions, which, of
necessity, are seasonable fairs, and the
dates of which cannot be moved forward or
back. A more ungracious act has not
characterized the selfish spirit of San Fran
cisco than the flat opposition she is making
to the interior expositions of products
OF the soil in the interior. Not
content with crossing the dates of the
Agricultural Society's with that of the
Mechanics Institute Fair the " commit
tee Z" of "leading citizens are now serv-
ing as a mask to the Institute in
lis endeayor to add an exhibition
of stock and speed programme
to the San. Francisco show"
Peehaps these philosophical people, some
OF whom have business houses in the in
terror and draw their chief profits from
country trade, vii! venture to explain how
the District and State Societies are to be
benefited, or the interior to be advanced
and ITS development encouraged, by oppo-
sition to stock exhibitions at San Fran
cisco, as a supplement to fair, the lawful
purpose Of which bears no relation what
ever to agriculture or stock-breeding?
These gentlemen will learn in time that
the people of the "oow counties have a
realizing sense of what constitutes loyalty
to their own, and fully understand the
peculiar methods San Francisco adopts to
foster the interior.

HUBA AND SUFFER- DEscRIBED-Satur-

devoted to descriptive article, by DR.. IL

trated by six wood-cuts of the following
subjects: ~ The Empire Block, Marys,

l6) The Courthouse at Yuba City. The
buildings are fairly well represented in
these illustrations, but the orange and
almond trees do not make a satisfactory
showing. The article gives a good account
OF the advantages and attractions of these
two counties. 1t was published by ar

wood-cuts. Some thousands of extra copies

PRoBABLY the saddest man in the
Union about this time is Geronimo. The
old sealp-raiser has seen one entire spring
pass over his head without an opportunity
to take to the woods and the cactus plains
While his daily perambulations are con-
fined TO the narrow confines of fort, he
hears with envy of other Apaches playing
the familiar game of hide-and-seek with
the Government troops over the burning
sands of Arizona, where he ard his mur-
dering band had such a prolonged "picnic''
last summer. Geronimo's condition NAV
well excite the sympathies of the siekly
sentimental ladies who weep over the woes
Of imprisoned cutthroats.

THE San Francisco Report, which sell
dom has pleasant word for Sacramento,
or the grace to do it justice, speaking of
the spirit of enterprise now manifested in
this city, surprises us by saying: at
speaks well for Sacramento. 1t shows that
1t knows how to prepare for and how to
bring about a boom. That the way to pre-
pare for and bring about boom is to have
the city clean, attractive and pleasant in
all respects for visitors and residents
alike" Whereupon the Marysville Dem
ocrdt advises Marysville to follow the ex-
ample of Sacramento, and prophesies great
results. Let us amend: we would have
Sacramento follow the example of citi-
zen of Yuba county, who is putting his
money into irrigation works, that in few
months will water all the land between
Marysville and the hills over the area of a
broad, fertile belt. The water is to be
brought down to the very gates of Marys-
vile. This marriage of land and water
will work wonders for Marysville-will do
more for that city, if we are to Judge by its
press, than her people realize as possible
Put such irrigation works upon the lands
to the east, southeast and northeast of Sac
ramento and the city will feel an infu-
ence that will fairly make the joints of
business crack with energy and the nerves
of industry thrill with new life.
